B&K set for £50m Manchester skyscraper job

Student accommodation developer Unite is understood to have lined up private builder Bowmer & Kirkland to build a 573-bedroom scheme in central Manchester.

Student room developer Unite is understood to have B&K on board for 35 storey block

The 1-5 New Wakefield Street tower block will rise to around 35 storeys and has been designed by Beetham Tower architects SimpsonHaugh & Partners.

Works are due to start on site in early 2018, after Unite received planning this month.

The tower would stand adjacent to another high-rise student accommodation project: the 33-storey Liberty Living building, formerly known as Student Castle.

Unite plans the vast majority of the accommodation to be arranged in clusters of 5-10 bedrooms. There will also be a number of studio flats. Anodised aluminium is proposed as the cladding for the building.
